Using BitBucket Pipelines to Deploy onto VPS via SSH Access

Question

I have been trying to wrap my head around how to utilise BitBucket\'s Pipelines to auto-deploy my (Laravel) application onto a Vultr Server instance.

I have the followin

Answer 1

The commands you are defining under script are going to be run into a Docker container and not on your VPS.

Instead, put all your commands in a bash file on your server.

1 - Create a bash file pull.sh on your VPS, to do all your deployment tasks

#/var/www/html
php artisan down
git pull origin master
composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan migrate
php artisan up
echo 'Deploy finished.'

2 - Create a script deploy.sh in your repository, like so

echo "Deploy script started"
cd /var/www/html
sh pull.sh
echo "Deploy script finished execution"

3 - Finally update your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file

image: atlassian/default-image:latest

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        deployment: staging
        script:
          - cat ./deploy.sh | ssh @
          - echo "Deploy step finished"

I would recommend to already have your repo cloned on your VPS in /var/www/html and test your pull.sh file manually first.
